Five Fine Art students are collaborating on an exhibition around the theme of identity, exploring how the works relate to each other and to the space.
In the Pavilion project, AKI students are given the opportunity to experiment and showcase their ideas and research. It's a project where students adapt their work to the physical space and learn how presentation and context influence not only the way their work looks, but also how the audience engages with it.
In architecture, the term "pavilion" refers to a building that is part of a larger whole but is characterized by its own form and direction. In this way, Concordia's small gallery is a pavilion of the AKI. The project bridges the gap between learning and process on the one hand, and being part of a larger art scene where audience experience and artistic distinction are paramount, on the other.

About the artists
Deniz Akbostanci
Using the Turkish term "nadide," I explore the value of communication that can only work between artists. I created the painting "Balçık," inspired by Seda Erciyes' 2024 album "Bataklığımda." I captured the emotions evoked in me by the album's nine different tracks on the canvas.
Nela Strbova
My work focuses on hybrid creatures, unstable bodies, and the tension between tenderness and rage. The figures in my work often reference uniforms, animals, or gendered symbols, pointing to power structures and vulnerability.
Kore Plunkett
My life is defined by duality and contradictions, a consequence of my limitations. Chain armor and two-dimensional work are the spaces in which I explore these defining aspects of my identity.
Anne Tromp
I want to explore how fear and doubt influence my communication, to better understand where doubt comes from. Is it simply a form of fear, or is there another origin?
Mira Nair
The theme centres on material memory, labour, and resistance, positioning indigo not as a neutral colour, but as a carrier of socio-cultural and historical narratives shaped by colonial powers.
